Have you got a burning question about your caravan awning? See if it's already been answered in our FAQs below.
A caravan awning is an extendable cover attached to the side of a caravan, creating extra outdoor space that's sheltered from the elements. Awnings come in various types, including full awnings, which offer a large additional area, and porch awnings, which cover a smaller space for quick setups.
Size and Fit: Ensure it fits your caravan’s dimensions. Measure your caravan accurately to match the awning size.
Material: Look for durable, weather-resistant fabrics.
Ease of Setup: Consider how easy it is to erect and dismantle.
Weight: Lighter awnings are easier to transport and set up.
Features: Check for additional features like removable sides, mesh panels for ventilation, and included accessories.
Yes, it is very important for the awning to fit your caravan properly to ensure it provides adequate shelter and remains secure in all weather conditions. Each caravan model may have specific awning sizes recommended by the manufacturer.
While many caravan awnings come with water-resistant materials, over time, the waterproofing can diminish. It's a good practice to re-waterproof your awning periodically to maintain its resistance to rain and prevent leaks.
The best fabric often depends on your specific needs:
Polyester is lightweight and dries quickly but may not be as durable as other materials.
Acrylic is more durable and breathable, making it suitable for long-term use.
PVC is highly waterproof and durable but can be heavy and less breathable.
The lifespan of awning fabric can vary widely based on material, usage, and maintenance. High-quality fabric well-maintained can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years. Regular cleaning and proper storage can extend the life of your awning fabric.
There is no universal maximum wind speed for caravan awnings, as resistance can vary based on the awning's design, material, and how well it's secured. It's advisable to retract or securely tie down your awning in high winds to prevent damage. Manufacturers may provide specific guidance on wind resistance for their products.
To enhance the strength and stability of your caravan awning, consider the following tips:
Use storm straps: These help anchor the awning more securely to the ground.
Invest in a quality frame: Metal frames tend to offer more stability than fiberglass.
Add support poles: Extra poles can reinforce the structure.
Secure pegging points: Ensure all pegging points are properly used and consider using screw-in pegs for harder ground.
Utilize tie-down kits: These can help secure the awning in windy conditions.
Remember, the key to maximizing the enjoyment and lifespan of your caravan awning is choosing the right one for your needs, proper maintenance, and being mindful of weather conditions.
With an extensive range of caravan awnings from leading brands like Global, Coast, and Carefree, we've got something for everyone. Explore our selection above and find the perfect awning for your caravan.
